Denied
The Board denied service connection for chronic chest pain, right arm pain, and right thumb pain because there is no evidence of a current diagnosis or functional limitation related to these conditions.
The deciding factor: The Board concluded that the Veteran does not have a current diagnosis of any chest, right arm, or right thumb condition and has not had one at any time during the pendency of the claim.
